The correct answer is A.
You have direct variation if x and y are modeled by the equation
In this case, m is the constant of proportionality. So, if the constant has to be 2, the equation becomes
A side note: Actually, option C has a constant of proportionality of two as well, except the roles of x and y are interchanged. I chose option A because usually you want the y = mx form, but the names of the variables are obviously meaningless.
-9 to 0 is 9 and 0 to 14 is 14.
Total distance = 9 +14 = 23
Answer:
$23.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the original price by p.
The sale price is (100% - 60%), or 40%, of p:
$9.55 = 0.40p
Dividing both sides by 0.40 results in:
p = $23.88 (rounded up from $23.875).
Answer:
26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have that:
935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).
After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.
Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.
26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
